Our client is an established private educational psychology practice providing EHCP assessments, private cognitive assessments and bespoke support to schools and families.

Caseloads are kept small, allowing you to give each case the time and attention it requires, while having the professional freedom to make recommendations that are genuinely in the client’s best interests.

You will also benefit from access to experienced senior professional guidance when needed, alongside opportunities for continuing professional development and additional training.
